Unconscious
• Personal Unconscious
- Repressed ideas
- Memories
- Impulses
• The Collective Unconscious- most powerful and influential part of the
psyche, therefore the personality
- Trans-personal: not determined by experiences. Not empirical
- Archetypes: primordial images common to all human species, predispose
us to respond in certain ways
- … there is good reason for supposing that the archetypes are the
unconscious images of the instincts themselves, in other words, that they
are patterns of instinctual behaviour (Jung, 1968, pp. 43-44).
- Main archetypes: child-god, mother, trickster, hero, shadow, animus,
persona
• Synchronicity
- Two events close in time without one causing the other, which appears to
one individual that there is some kind of connection
- Two events related through meaning rather than cause and effect
- Paranormal connection?
- The archetype that has a quality that permits this meaningfulness
• Jung’s Anticipation of later approaches to Personality
- Dispositional/ trait: by constructing an extroversion and introversion
typology therefore influencing the dispositional trait theories
- Humanistic/ existential: the fact that Jung’s theory held to the assumption
that an individuals life is shaped by future or end goals, the key goal was
to being your true self only coming about when you are in your 0’s/0’s.
Full individualisation and selfhood. This is where the personality reaches
its highest development.
• Testing Jung’s Theory
- Conceptually
- Empirically
